Laser cladding of aluminum alloy AD33

Abstract

The paper compares laser and argon-arc cladding for aluminum alloy AD33. Weldability was studied, then a suitable filler material was selected for cladding. Following non-destructive tomographic testing were tested welding modes, providing defect-free cladding. A comparative analysis of the welding thermal cycle on the microstructure and microhardness distribution in the cross-section of cladded samples from AD33 aluminum revealed the superior performance of laser cladding over argon-arc cladding.
